Our policy is that learners wear uniform when attending the academy and external events.
Our uniform policy is based on the notion that uniform:
- Promotes a sense of pride in the academy
- Engenders a sense of community and belonging towards the academy
- Is practical and smart
- Identifies the learners with the academy
- Prevents learners from being too ‘fashion conscious’
- Makes learners feel equal with their peers
- Is good value for money
- Is designed with health and safety in mind
- For further information, please contact your child’s Year Manager
